  Murphy ran a few other games through it, including Tetris, and found that the program would eventually just pause itself rather than continue playing and lose, a tactic shared by annoying, over-competitive cousins around the world since 1985.
It appears the only winning move is not to play.
really, what isn't easy given those capabilities... ;)
